  3. Treating HIV and preventing it at the same time

    Treatment drugs can do more than improve the health of people with HIV: If administered early, medications can also reduce the spread of the disease to sexual partners and may help stem the AIDS epidemic. But many logistical hurdles stand in the way of making this strategy feasible, affordable and effective, according to experts writing in Tuesday's edition of the journal PLoS Medicine.

  5. How to cure U.S. healthcare

    When it comes to healthcare, Americans are not getting a lot of value for their money. The United States spends 17.6% of its gross domestic product, nearly twice the average of the nations in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. But life expectancy in the United States in 2010, at 78.7 years, is below the OECD average of 79.8 years. The U.S. infant mortality rate is higher than in most developed countries — it is higher than the rates in Greece, Hungary and Slovakia.

  8. To prevent stroke injury, sing, dance, touch, look, move?

    For those&nbsp;lucky enough to have the first signs of a stroke recognized by friends or family, things often get&nbsp;very quiet very quickly as 911 calls are made, gurneys are wheeled in and&nbsp;tests are conducted. University of California Irvine neuroscientist <a title="The lab from which research emerges" href="http://frostiglab.bio.uci.edu/" target="_blank">Ron D. Frostig</a> says that if rats are any guide to human health (and they&nbsp;often are the starting point for new treatments), stroke victims might do a lot better with a quick dose of stimulation instead.

  9. Shift work: Good for your pocketbook, bad for your health

    These days, it's just good to have a job. But remaining gainfully employed&nbsp;can take a toll on health, especially if your work has you up at odd hours and sleeping irregularly. Shift work, say two studies out this week, poses particular problems for women, who appear to be at greater risk of Type 2 diabetes and possibly breast cancer if they maintain work schedules that mess with their internal clocks.

  10. Tide of seaweed promises can ebb and flow

    Seaweed can shrink your waistline. Grow your hair. Bring down your blood pressure along with your blood sugar. Build up the strength of your bones and your brain. Make your joints stop aching and your bowels get moving. Give cancer short shrift, and give cellulite and wrinkles the old heave-ho.

  11. No on Prop. 29

    What's to like about taxes? Most people view them at best as a necessary evil to help pay for robust government services &mdash; a public benefit. But cigarette taxes are an anomaly. In their case, the tax itself is a public benefit. <a href="http://1.usa.gov/Hz2wVS">Proposition 29,</a> which would place a $1 levy on each pack of cigarettes sold in California, would serve the common good by making cigarettes more expensive.
